Michelle - Ok, just to fill in some background on this for those not familiar. The colorspace defines what colors are available for your image. Assume that your printer has a larger colorspace(gamut) than the sRGB colorspace (which any decent printer will). If the image you are working is in sRGB and when you are done you assign it to your printers colorspace, it's the whole converting 8-bit to 16-bit thing again. You can't add color that isn't there. So, effectively, even though you are outputting using your printer's colorspace, it is really the sRGB colorspace (that make sense?). If you are starting your image out in your printer's colorspace, you are using a wider gamut than sRGB. The problem is that your monitor has a tonal range that is limited to the smaller sRGB colorspace so even though you are using a wider gamut, you still only see your image on the monitor in sRGB. That means what you see is an approximation (sometimes I poor approximation) of what your image really looks like. Where the wider gamut pays off is when you output the image to a device that has a wider gamut. My printer's gamut is smaller than AdobeRGB, but I use AdobeRGB because that means my archive copies will be in the wider colorspace for future output to devices that might have wider gamuts than my current printer. -=>Donald
